Kendrick Lamar’s ‘GNX’ Guest Rappers See Their Own Catalog Boosts


Rappers featured on Kendrick Lamar's 'GNX' album see their own catalog boosts in this week's Trending Up.

Kendrick Lamar ’s GNX has already collected impressivewins on the Billboard 200 and Hot 100, but the Compton MC’s surprise album is also helping boost the catalog of its featured L.A. rappers. The sound has of course been used by any number of users for emotional lip synch moments over the past few weeks – but it’s also been adapted as a go-to soundtrack for popular nostalgic and/or tear-jerking edits of football and wrestling stars. On Nov. 8, TikTok creator @mora2767 posted a dance sequence – featuring lots of twerking and trademark Cali moves – to the tune of E.K.E.’s “Ghetto,” which incorporated elements from the intro of Akon’s 2005 song of the same name.
